0:00.0	Hello, my name's Justin the Klu, and I'm here today with Will Sloan.
0:10.0	And you're listening to The Important Cinema Club.
0:13.0	And today, we're going to get a little bit extreme because we're talking about the edge lord himself, Todd Salons.
0:20.7	Todd Salons' reputation, I think,
0:23.2	largely rests on two landmarks of the 1990s American independent cinema boom. There was
0:29.8	1996's Welcome to the Doll House, which so memorably captured the horrible experience that
0:36.4	high school is for so many high schoolers.
0:38.8	And then 1998's Happiness, which is one of the most fucked up movies of all time, a movie
0:44.9	that when I saw it as a teenager, I kept thinking, I really hope my parents don't come
0:49.5	in the room right now.
0:50.5	I hope they don't find out I'm watching this.
0:52.0	They might call the cops.
0:53.1	But there's not even anything graphic in happiness. So that means your parents would have to sit down and be like,
0:57.8	what are you watching? There are some, there are some graphic things in happiness. Are there? I don't
1:02.3	remember. Well, when Philip Seymarhoff and jizz is on the wall. Oh yeah. We don't see his

That's how all these posters are up on your wall right now. That's right, because he glues it to it, right? If your parents came in, you could have been like, what is he doing, mom and dad, if they looked at you askance, just ignoring, like, I don't know what's going on it's happening off the frame Todd Salons his his name
1:29.1	has you know faded a bit over the years with it's funny you look at the box office and each one of
1:34.7	his movies makes half as much money as the previous one can you get and we're getting pretty
1:39.6	close to zero at this point so it's been a while since his last movie.
1:44.9	His next movie is supposed to be a big one though, right? It's Rachel Weiss and Colin Farrell.
1:49.6	That's been in development for a while. The last update was 2021. So it's not completely dead.
1:56.0	Well, we'll see. I know he's teaching it, I believe, NYU right now. Oh, it's over for him then. Yeah, he's
